Marc Buller, commodore at my favorite bar, offered this bargument the other day. It prompted quite a bargument at the time...
You've been signed to a Major League Baseball team. Which position do you want to play?
This quickly prompted the question: are you somehow an expert ballplayer, or are you stuck with your current abilities? The consensus seemed to be you're magically given the skills along with your MLB contract.

I want to be a rarely used utility player who sees playing time maybe once a week. That way, I can sit back, crack jokes and do crosswords in the dugout and still collect my hefty "minimum" salary.
Good logic Chappy. I think I will go for longevity. Middle reliever. You get to hang out in the bullpen, away from the primadonas and the ire of the manager after getting thrown out in the seventh for picking up a base and throwing it, of all places, in the dugout. Bullpens are much cooler.
Ah yes, I hadn't thought of that. Which brings up another old idea I had. With all the bullpen specialization and focus on "closers" and "stoppers," I want to become MLB's first "opener." That's right. I mow them down in the first inning, get the team off to an emphatic start. Or, there could be a finisher whose job is only to get the final out.
Extreme situational specialization.
